APPLICATION
• BUILDING AND ARCHITECTURAL
• MISCELLANEOUS APPLICATIONS
• HIGH PRESSURE GAS CYLINDER
• MACHINED COMPONENTS
• LADDER AND ACCESS EQUIPMENT
21. AIR TIGHTNESS
• A well designed aluminium door , window etc. is
pertfectly air tight a nd sealed out for dust and rain water,
when closed.
• This is usefull in fully air conditioned bildings.
21
CRYOGENICS
• Where as steel becomes brittle at low temperatures, aluminium increases in tensile
strength and retains excellent toughness.
APPLICATION IN BUIDING MATERIAL
22. APPEARANCE
• Aluminium can be anodized or painted in any colour, to
any optical effect, number of surface touches, in order
to meet a decorative needs. It serves to enhance the
material’s durability and corrosion resistance, as well as
providing an easy-to-clean surface.
22
23. EASE IN FABRICATION & ASSEMBLY
• Aluminium can be easily fabricated into various
forms such as foil, sheets, geometric shapes, rod,
tube and wire.
• Aluminium could be easily assembled using
welding.
23
24. HANDLING AND TRANSPORTION
• Require fewer joints, producing fast and economical
installation.
• Aluminium can be sawed, drilled, riveted, screwed,
bent, welded and soldered in the workshop or on
the building site.
24
25. HIGH CORROSION RESISTANCE
• Aluminium building products are made from alloys,
which are weather-proof, corrosion-resistant and
immune to the harmful effects of UV rays,
ensuring optimal performance over a very long
serviceable lifetime.
25
26. HIGH REFLECTIVITY
• This characteristic feature makes aluminium a very
efficient material for light management. Aluminium
solar collectors can be installed to lower energy
consumption for artificial lighting and heating in
winter, while aluminium shading devices can be
used to reduce the need for air conditioning in
summer.
26
27. HIGH SCRAP VALUE
• To produce aluminum from recycled material, for
example, requires only 5% of the energy required
to produce aluminum from bauxite. In addition,
every ton of recycled aluminum saves four tons
of bauxite.
27
HIGH STRENGTH TO WEIGHT RATIO
• Aluminium sections are generally thinner and deeper
than equivalent steel sections to achieve the required
strength and rigidity of same level.
28. MAINTENANCE COST
• While Aluminium has a natural, built-in
durability (it forms a protective layer of oxide as
soon as it is exposed to air), most Aluminium
construction products are treated or coated.
One way in which the oxidization process can
be enhanced is anodization

29. USES

USES OF ALUMINIUM
• Aluminium is one of the most important and widely used metals in the transport, construction,
packaging and electrical sectors.
• In transport, aluminium is used in cars (engine blocks and body panels), trucks and buses (sheet and
plate for bodies), in railway stock and in aircraft.
• In construction, aluminium is used in sheet products for roofing and wall cladding, in extrusions for
windows and doors, and in castings for builders' hardware.
• In packaging, aluminium is used in the form of alloy sheet for beverage can bodies and tops, as foil for
household and commercial wrap, and in manufactured packaging products such as cartons for fruit
juice and packaging for pharmaceuticals.
• In the electrical sector, aluminium is used in the form of wire, normally reinforced with steel to form
cables.
